Biblical worship is always cross-centered. The central feature of Old Testament worship was sacrifice, and the heart of New Testament worship is the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. As the animal sacrifices of Old Testament saints were only a type and shadow of the cross, so our sacrifices of consecration, surrender and service are only faulty copies of Christ’s self-sacrifice. Ultimately, all true worship is a response to the cross that points to the cross and is sanctified by the cross.
